Wasn’t a fan of using Ziehl, and I don’t know if DiMare had this in mind, but there’s definitely value in seeing how long Ziehl can go. 50+ pitches and he was dealing. That’s 3-4 innings. Could come in handy in the postseason.
Messick dialed in. Put a couple balls in play. Not great, but only one of the pictures he threw was a ball so standing around watching wouldn’t have helped.
Biggest game of the year to date. Our pitching sans Palm, Ziehl and Walters is suspect. Can’t afford to go into the weekend relying on anyone else to get a W. Win tonight and we still control our destiny for a national seed even if we lose Sat and Sun.
